Silver And Black Pride
It appears the Tom Brady honeymoon period is over with the Las Vegas Raiders fan base.
Sure, it can rekindle, but just more than year into the legendary quarterback becoming a minority owner of the team and the fan base has become, let’s say, skeptical of how positive his influence is on the team.
We recently asked our community members if Brady should share some blame for the Raiders’ woes this season.
The results were overwhelming as about 90 percent of the voters do believe that, yes, Brady should take some blame for this mess.
I agree.
From my vantage point, it seems like Brady has a bigger roll in the offseason than during the season. He has been a part of the hiring process of the head coach, general manager and some assistant coaches and well as the quarterback position. But in the season, when Brady concentrates on his broadcasting job at Fox, he serves more of a long-distance sounding board.
The Athletic reported last week that Brady is ‘frustrated” with the team’s performance this season and he played a big roll in bringing Chip Kelly to the team as offensive coordinator. Kelly was fired last week.
Brady tried to sway Ben Johnson and Matthew Stafford to Las Vegas last year and was unable to land neither. He did playa role in the hiring of Pete Carroll, John Spytek and Geno Smith. He also reportedly didn’t want to pursue quarterback Sam Darnold, who is having a much better season than Smith for the Seattle Seahawks, who traded Smith to the Raiders and pursued Darnold.
